He spoke highly of anti-graft work carried out last year,saying that investigations into corrupt officials shouldcontinue to be enhanced this year.

Local Party authorities should report their work on clean governance to higher-level disciplinarybodiesWang said at the conferenceadding that it would be considered dereliction of duty ifParty authorities did not strengthen anti-corruption efforts.

He told disciplinary officials to keep a close watch on corruption activities involving governmentofficialsincluding briberyembezzlementdereliction of duty and abuse of power.
